Definitions
- This invention relates to a retroperfusion control apparatus, system and method.
- the pump controller which operates a piston driven pump to maintain pump flow and pump timing through feedback circuits that compensate for variations in the patient's heart rhythm and rate.
- the piston driven pump is of the disposable type and is connected through tubing between the arterial blood supply and an auto-inflatable retroperfusion balloon catheter which is positioned in the great cardiac vein via the coronary sinus.

- the microprocessor 206 supplies an output to the connector 192 which can be connected to a strip chart recorder. If desired, as shown in FIG. 6, an additional external CRT monitor 214 can be utilized.
- the plunger 108 should be shifted in the cassette 81 so that it is in an appropriate position so that it can be inserted into the pump console 12.
- the pump cassette 81 can then be positioned so that the retaining cap 112 enters the opening 136 so that the head 109 carried by the piston plunger 108 can enter the slot or recess 111 provided at the top of the rack 61.

- a conventional supply catheter 221 can be placed in the femoral artery 222 of the patient and connected to the tubing 123 to obtain a supply of arterial blood.
- the inflatable retroperfusion balloon catheter 118 is placed in the great cardiac vein 226 approximately 2 to 3 centimeters proximal to the anterior interventricular vein via the coronary sinus. Proper placement of the catheter 118 is confirmed under fluoroscopy by observing the free flow of a radiopaque solution around the catheter in the atrium during systole.
- a disposable pressure transducer (not shown) can be secured to the proximal end of the retroperfusion catheter's pressure lumen if it is so equipped, and can be connected to the cabling 198 which is connected to the pressure connector 193 provided on the front panel 132.

- a syringe can also be utilized to draw blood back through the outlet tubing 116 and retroperfusion catheter into the injection site 117a to ensure that all air has been removed.
- the pump can be placed in operation.
- the blood automatically inflates the balloon at the end of the auto-inflatable retroperfusion balloon catheter 118. This retards the efflux of blood from the regional coronary veins and permits effective retrograde delivery of arterial blood to the myocardium of the heart.
- Termination of the retrograde catheter perfusion at end of diastole automatically deflates the balloon and permits antegrade coronary sinus drainage of venous blood from the myocardium into the right atrium during systole.
- the one volt peak-to-peak signal which is supplied from the external ECG monitor 201 has been prefiltered to approximately 150 hertz high frequency rolloff.
- a signal is supplied to the preamplifier 208 which accomplishes additional filtering and also supplies a signal to the A/D converter 207 connected to the microprocessor 206.
- a signal is also supplied from the preamp 208 to the ECG amplifier and processing circuitry 209 which is utilized to ascertain location of the R wave peak. This is accomplished by taking the electronic derivative of the signal to find the maximum slope in the wave form. This information is supplied as a signal on the R trigger circuit to the microprocessor 206.
- the microprocessor 206 has the capability of correlating the pattern which is generated by the A/D converter 207 based upon the ECG monitor and compares it with an independently generated R trigger circuit signal being supplied by the ECG amplifier and processing circuitry 209 to ascertain whether or not there is an agreement that an R wave has been detected which can be utilized for triggering the operation of the stepper motor 47.
- the output of the microprocessor video controller 206 feeds signals to the stepper motor 47 that are phased in relationship to the stepper motor to create approximately 500 steps per inch of operation of the motor in forward and then in reverse and causing a resultant travel of the piston 88 in the pump cassette 81 between the upper and lower limits of movement for the piston 88.
- These steps of the stepper motor, and the rate at which these steps are taken are controlled by the microprocessor 206 utilizing a lookup table and are based upon the heart rate input that is sensed by the ECG monitor 201 and the delivery setting which has been inserted by the physician into the pump console 12 by operation of the menu key 177 and the up and down keys 173 and 174 as hereinbefore described.
- the microprocessor 206 determines precisely the upstroke time and speed as well as the pause time and the downstroke time and speed.
- the microprocessor 206 is capable of assimilating arrhythmias and abnormal ECG events.
- the microprocessor 206 initiates the pump cycle at approximately 45% and terminates at 95% of the R to R period if the heartbeat is steady. The desired steadiness can be defined, e.g., no more than 10% change during the past eight heartbeats. If the rate is changing more rapidly, the pump is started later depending upon the rate of change to avoid premature pumping and straining of the heart.
- the pump cycle is always terminated at the beginning of a new R wave. After a very irregular beat the pump skips a pump cycle until the heartbeat stabilizes, all under the control of an algorithm.
- the microprocessor 206 As hereinbefore explained there are three feedbacks to the microprocessor from the stepper motor 47, from the pump cassette 81, and from the infra-red blood level detector 145.
- the first is the bottom of stroke indication from the motor position detector 75.
- the second input to the microprocessor 206 is the cassette position switch 158 which informs the microprocessor whether or not the cassette is actually connected to the stepper motor rack 61. Thus, if the cassette is improperly placed, the microprocessor 206 will stop the pumping operation.
- Information is also supplied from the infrared blood level detector 145 to the microprocessor 206 and causes the microprocessor 206 to shut down the pumping action when air bubbles are sensed in the blood or when the blood level within the bubble chamber 84 falls below the level of either of the infrared sensors of the blood level detectors 145.
- the microprocessor 206 has been programmed so that the pump stroke will start at 45% of the R to R interval (the R period) and terminates at approximately 95% of the R to R interval. In programming this pumping operation, it has been found it is desirable to program the microprocessor 206 so that signals to the stepper motor 47 are entered twice as fast on the upstroke so as to leave approximately one half of the time allotted for the upstroke for L pause time after which the downstroke is commenced. The downstroke is accelerated in order to cause better deflation of the auto inflatable balloon 119 at the and of the catheter 118 and also to more quickly reduce the pressure from the coronary sinus caused by the pump stroke.
- Such a flow pattern is shown in the traces shown in FIG. 7.
- the traces show that pumping into the coronary sinus actually begins at the end of systole or in other words at the end of the arterial pressure wave.
- the slope of the rise of flow is much steeper and achieves peak flow much earlier in the R to R cycle which makes it possible to achieve peak pressure in the coronary sinus earlier in the R to R cycle.
- This helps to prevent or avoid the generation of overpressures or collisions between the pressure due to flow caused by the pump and the pressure wave due to arterial pressure of the next systole.
- a downward or receiving portion of the flow occurs prior to the occurrence of the next R wave, thus pressure is removed more rapidly from the coronary sinus.
- the same amount of blood can be delivered between the R to R peak but is delivered more rapidly and more appropriately in the diastolic time window.
- the pressure is removed more rapidly to prevent any possible collision from the systolic arterial pressure wave.
- FIGS. 7A, 7B, 7C and 7D there are shown four strip chart recordings which show the response of the pump 81 in response to heart rate variation.
- a retroperfusion apparatus and system of the present invention was utilized with the pinch valve assembly 151 being utilized for controlling the arterial blood flow.
- a patient ECG simulator was utilized to provide a normal rhythm.
- a conventional flow meter and a strip chart recorder were utilized.
- a saline solution was placed in a bag at 6 feet in elevation to simulate arterial pressure.
- a 7 French catheter with a 5 millimeter balloon was utilized. The catheter tip was introduced into a graduated cylinder so that the amount of saline solution which was pumped could be measured.
- the flow was set at 80 milliliters per minute and the heart rate was varied through 40, 60, 80, 100, 120 and 150 beats per minute at a fast strip chart speed and then varied through 150, 120, 100, 80, 60 and 40 beats per minute at slow speed for compressed recording.
- the results of the tests are shown in the traces in 7A, 7B, 7C and 7D.
- the trace 231 is FIG. 7A, shows the electrocardiogram with the R peaks 232 as they are changed from a rate of 150 beats per minute to 120, 100, 80, 60, and 40 beats per minute.
- the phasic timing of the pump stroke is shown by the trace 236 in FIG. 7B.
- the highest level 237 of the trace indicates the upstroke time.
- the next lower level 238 indicates the duration of time that is occupied by the pause state where the pump piston is at its highest position and is held there for a predetermined period of time.
- the next level 239 indicates the time taken for the downstroke.
- the lowest level 241 indicates the pause or waiting time before the next trigger signal arrives to start the upstroke.
- the trace 251 which is shown in FIG. 7D shows the time-averaged mean flow output from the pump through a calibrated flow meter and shows that a substantially constant output flow as, for example, 80 milliliters per minute for which the pump console 12 was set is achieved even though the beats per minute change radically.
- the trace in FIG. 7C show how this was accomplished. As the beats per minute decreases, as for example, 150 for the initial pump stroke as shown by the level portion 246b, which is represented by the level 247 for 150 beats per minute.
- the stroke length is increased as represented by level 248 for 120 beats per minute, level 249 for 100 beats per minute, level 251 for 80 beats per minute, level 252 for 60 beats per minute and level 253 for 40 beats per minute.
- the trace 256 in FIG. 7D shows that the output of the pump remains substantially constant through the entire operating range from 150 to 40 beats per minute.
- the microprocessor 206 senses the change of rate of the heart beats and adjusts the upstroke time, the upstroke speed, the pause time and the downstroke time so that with the reduced number of strokes per minute increased volume is produced by the pump each time a stroke is made so that the resultant mean flow from the retroperfusion apparatus is substantially constant.
- the microprocessor controlled stepper motor drive provides a positive control over the pump stroke and provides a powered upstroke and a powered downstroke by forward and reverse motion of the stepper motor.
- the precisely controlled powered downstroke contributes to the balloon deflation.
- the microprocessor control which is utilized makes it possible to precisely detect the R waves by ascertaining the maximum positive slope within the ECG waveform and supplies a signal which is correlated with software in the microprocessor to ascertain whether in fact an R peak has occurred to therefore make possible a more positive and precise identification of the R wave.
- a direct coupling is provided between the stepper motor and the piston of the pump which direct coupling is obtained by the use of a rack and pinion.
